English Standard Version
22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, (A)all rejoice together.

22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

20 (C)Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. (D)Everything is indeed clean, but (E)it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. 21 (F)It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.[a] 22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. (G)Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves.

English Standard Version
1 Corinthians 8:9-13
English Standard Version
9 But take care (A)that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block (B)to the weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating[a] in an idol's temple, will he not be encouraged,[b] if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is (C)destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12 Thus, sinning against your brothers[c] and (D)wounding their conscience when it is weak, (E)you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, (F)if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block(A) to the weak.(B) 10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?(C) 11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed(D) by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them(E) in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.(F) 13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.(G)
